    JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - Welcome to Jeddah, home of Albaik, what is probably the most famous fast food chain in the Middle East, originally started in Jeddah. Today we’re going to try it out, it will be my first time!
    As soon as you land in Saudi Arabia, you’ll notice that Albaik is packed - every single location is buzzing and busy at all times of the day. Now I’m not normally that interested in fast food chains, but I had to make an exception for Albaik because it’s so popular and loved and I had to see what it’s all about.
    I really wanted to go to the original location in Jeddah, but couldn't’ make it there - not sure if it’s still open now - but we did go to one of the original locations, and a popular location in the center of Jeddah. I ordered most of their signature fast food dishes, the best of them being the broast chicken.
    They have regular broast and spicy broast, and the spicy broast proved to be some of the greatest fast food fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. It was so juicy and not that spicy, but packed with flavor. I have definitely figured out why it’s so popular!
    When you’re in Saudi Arabia, Albiak fast food is a must try!

    I love Al Baik.... I used to work in Jeddah for 10 years and now I'm back to my home country Philippines, I suddenly missed the taste and aroma of Al Baik broasted chicken. I hope they can branch out to Philippines soon. Me and my collogues usually go there every Thursday for dinner. Thank you Mark for showing the world the famous Al Baik...

    I have tried many broast chickens ....but the crisp and flavor that AL-Baik has is why people love this... Majority of fast food chains have 70% bread crumbs than the chicken they coated. Have tried Al-Baik everytime I visit Saudia and it never has disappointed with the taste and quantity of the food

    OMG, Al Baik - the iconic fried chicken and garlic sauce I grew up with. I just wish they had Al Baik here in the States. Fried chicken is huge here and I think Al Baik chicken is ten times better than KFC and maybe twice as better than Popeyes 😅. Mark, your food adventures are so tangibly vibrant and are mesmerizing. I’m considering a gastronomy-focused trip to Jeddah next winter thanks to this awesome Saudi series. 😁

    here's how you can make a quick home version of that Garlic sauce if you wanna try it, it's Amazing with chicken Or fries:
    add to a blender :
    2 egg whites
    a tea spoon of white vinegar or squeez of lemon
    4 or 5 Garlic cloves
    salt
    then start adding about a cup of sunflower oil or vegetable oil slowly until you get the consistency of mayonnaise
    that's it.
    there are other ways to make it using potato or corn starch but this is the easier way for making small quantities at home, and they taste Identical.

    The funny thing about Al-Baik is that even when the line is full, they dish out orders very quickly. I remember, back then you were given a number with a group letter. like A1 to C99. but still very quick. hehehe. I miss this a lot.
